Ultrathin electronics can now be laminated onto curved surfaces using heat-shrinkable polymers
Searching through existing data spanning 9 billion years, a team of researchers led by scientists at University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa has uncovered the first evidence of “cosmological coupling”—a newly predicted phenomenon in Einstein’s theory of gravity, possible only when black holes are placed inside an evolving universe.
There may be a more efficient future for water repellent materials and methods thanks to new research from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa College of Engineering
Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) women diagnosed with breast cancer have higher rates of Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC), the most aggressive form of breast cancer compared to other racial/ethnic populations in Hawaiʻi
Nearly 100% of Hawaiʻi residents aged 18—35 surveyed, utilized some form of digital or social media to find information about COVID-19 or related topics, according to research by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Thompson School of Social Work & Public Health.
Irreversible loss of the West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, and a corresponding rapid acceleration of sea-level rise, may be imminent if global temperature change cannot be stabilized below 1.8°C, compared to preindustrial levels.
Two new viruses are infecting hibiscus plants in Hawaiʻi and could pose a threat to the state flower, according to researchers in the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources. Their findings were published in Viruses
A University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo professor of geography is part of an international research team that collected plant-trait data from the island of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain), to compare against a global data set of plant form and function.
Thanks to “jumping” genes, the genomes of social species have become larger than those of their nonsocial relatives.
In recent years, polar bears in the Beaufort Sea have had to travel far outside of their traditional arctic hunting grounds which has contributed to an almost 30% decrease in their population.
Multiple large heatwaves the size of Mongolia occurred at the same time nearly every day during the warm seasons of the 2010s across the Northern Hemisphere, according to a study led by Washington State University researchers.
Thanks to “jumping” genes, the genomes of social species have become larger than those of their nonsocial relatives.
A potential link between intestinal bacteria and the disproportionately higher rates of certain chronic disease and mental health risks among Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders (NHPIs) has been discovered by an interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
While many changes happened during the pandemic, one instance of change involving fishing around Hawaiʻi Island showed the importance of the activity for residents to researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, thanks to photos on social media.
The longest comparison of U.S. Army and civilian suicides suggests societal factors are driving both military and civilian suicides, challenging assumptions that military suicides are primarily driven by combat trauma or other war-related causes.
During August 2019, more than 40,000 tourists visited Hawaiʻi’s Molokini island—off of Maui’s southwestern coast—to snorkel or dive
A problem that has puzzled the scientific community for more than 50 years has finally been solved by researchers from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, Florida International University and Ruhr University Bochum (Germany).
Celestial phenomena that change with time such as exploding stars, mysterious objects that suddenly brighten and variable stars are a new frontier in astronomical research, with telescopes that can rapidly survey the sky revealing thousands of these objects.
The war in Ukraine and the international isolation of Russia has harmed biodiversity conservation according to a new study, published in Frontiers in Conservation Science.
As glaciers in Antarctica have melted, previously ice-entombed black mosses have been exposed. A team led by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers conducted extensive analyses on these mosses discovered in the northern Antarctic Peninsula, which revealed sensitive glacier behavioral responses to the climate over the past 1,500 years.
